NEW JERSEY - New Jersey officials have given approval to seven companies to sell recreational marijuana to adults meaning sales could start as early as May.
The move comes more than a year after voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot question to legalize adult use of the drug.
Early last year, Democratic Governor Phil Murphy signed legislation to set up a recreational marijuana marketplace.
At the time of the signing, Murphy explained that by establishing a recreational marijuana marketplace, the economy statewide would flourish as new jobs would be created.
